I museum of what ?

Park the few tube cars they've got ? And then what else .............

Result small collection, split away from other relics, accessible
only by a small lift. And, if retained as a part of the working
railway for filming purposes needing to meet Clause 24.

Would run into hundreds of thousand if not millions of £££ and there
are way better things to spend money on in LU .

You;ve also sucessfully broken away tube items from sub-surface items.


Not even lift access, only way down is the spiral staircase (not
suitable for anyone with mobility issues) or through the tunnel from
Holborn.

The closed, ex-Thameslink, bits of Moorgate/Barbican would be a far
better location for a museum.
Either that, or let the Museum Depot take over Ealing Common :-)

Yes, I know - but the lift was there - one of the reasons the line
closed, but I suggest repairing it / reinstating it would be essential
nay mandatory to make a museum. They'd have to do it for disabled
access.

Thats why it would cost a lot of money.

I have wondered why they don't do up Covent Garden station so its original
tiles / signs are all visible in Leslie Gren style.

That would make a better "museum" station and would tie in with the LT
museum nearby/

Good thinking. That would be most appropriate.
